Drone Ground School — Part 1: Foundations & Registration
This is where every new pilot starts — not with a test, but with the real-world basics of understanding airspace, flying safely, and getting your drone properly registered before it ever leaves the ground.
Taught by a licensed FAA Part 107 commercial pilot with 6+ years of professional flight experience, this 8-module ground school breaks down the foundational knowledge every drone owner needs — whether you're flying for fun or considering it as the start of a new career.
**Please note:** this course covers foundational knowledge and registration, not Part 107 exam preparation. If you're pursuing commercial certification, this is your starting point — not your test prep.
**What's Inside:**
- 8 self-paced video modules covering airspace, weather, regulations, and flight fundamentals
- A hands-on, interactive practice simulator that walks you through real drone registration — creating your account, adding your aircraft, and getting your registration number — with zero real data required
- Clear guidance on FAA TRUST certification for recreational flyers
- A free downloadable Ground School Reference Guide (PDF)
**Who This Is For:**
- New pilots preparing to register their first drone
- Hobbyists working toward their TRUST certification
- Anyone exploring drone piloting as a career path
**A Note on How This Course Is Delivered:**
The 8 video modules are presented by an AI-generated instructor character, using Audrey's own voice, script, and real-world experience as the source material. The content and expertise are hers — the on-screen presenter is AI.
**What Comes Next:**
Once you've completed this course, you're ready for ClearerVue's in-person Core Training Program — where you'll take your drone out of the box for the first time, learn hands-on flight basics, and get in the air with an instructor by your side. Ground School is required before advancing to in-person training. Interested in the full track? Look for the Ground School + In-Person Training bundle.
